Though these books are called Cruise Books, the cruise itself is not the important thing. The fict that . trangrrs. men from eViryzchtre. have been placed togerhtr for a short time to do an important job on one of the most complex, i igenious and magnificent machines evir devised in the history of man that is imp(,rlaut.

C V A-31 I An instrument of peace The proud tradition of the USS BON IlOMMl ' RICHARD has its genesis not in the relatively recent age of World War II, but has been embodied in the history of America itself; from the point of conception of the American Nation. For it was in 1779 during the great struggle for inde- pendence that the hrst BON HOMME RICHARD, under the unfaltering leadership of John Paul Jones, refused to give up the fight until victory was won. The converted Indiaman comissioned in the Continental Navy went down with her colors still flying, but John Paul Jones and his gallant crew, having boarded and captured the SERAPIS, took victory from defeat and demonstrated to the world that never should the freedom ot a nation be questioned. The present BON HOMMl- RICHARD took to the seas in another part of the world xm in another age, bur with identical purpose. Jn 1944 CV 31 was launchctl to help in the all out effort of the country in defeating those that would challenge our way of life. The same name, the same purpose, the same challenge — but the present BON HOMMI . RICI lARD was quite different from the two-deck frigate with a crew of 8(1 that was her name- sake. CV 31 was indeed a monarch of the seas with the power wielded by her embarked air group. After exhaustive training she was read tor combat and in )une 1945 set sail for the -Pacihc to aid in the closing efforts of tlie war. From 1945 until the present BON HOMMI ' R1CH. RD has undergone manv remodernization changes but her role remains the same the defense of the American people. that reflects the vigor, the spirit, and the heritage DEPARTID L ' ORIKNT, FRANCE DESTROYED TOWNS ALONG THE FIRTH OF FORTH THREATENED LEITH AND EDJNRI ' RGH.
